Networking for Learning

What is Networking for Learning?

Networking for Learning simulation is an interactive tool which has been created to help primary schools develop learning networks. It has been designed to provoke dialogue and problem-solving about important issues of networking and is anchored firmly in research.

What is a Learning Network?

A network focused on learning is one in which a group of schools join together to plan, implement and monitor a range of activities that will enhance learning and teaching within and across schools. The schools in the network achieve more than if they work alone.

Who is Networking for Learning for?

The simulation aims to engage groups of primary school leaders, teachers and support staff (however experienced they may be in practice) in an interactive, educational and fun introduction to the potential and challenges involved in developing learning networks.

The Innovation Unit has worked closely with the creators, David Crandall and Louise Stoll, and the Networked Learning Group of the National College for School Leadership (NCSL) to develop this resource.
